David Allan Coe, the outlaw country music singer known for hits like "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" and "Take This Job and Shove It," died April 29 at age 86. The Akron, Ohio-born artist was an unconventional figure in country music who wrote mainstream hits for other artists while maintaining a controversial legacy marked by offensive recordings he claimed were parodies.
